    Oh, this really makes me sad. Many of his songs were the soundtrack of my childhood and they still sound so great today. Thanks for all the wonderful music, Fats.

    Saw him live in Las Vegas in 1986, on the same bill as Jerry Lee Lewis. I was too young to understand / appreciate what I was seeing.

    He gave us all an absolutely fantastic gift through his music that'll ensure that in one sense, I don't think he'll truly "die".

    Rest in peace, Fats. Now go have an absolutely epic jam with the other cats up there - they were waiting for a keys player, you know.

    He was at his peak before my time but fortunately my next door neighbour had tons of the original 78's of Fats, Buddy Holly, the Killer etc, and it's the first music I remember. Blueberry Hill is a classic, and when "I'm Walking" comes on in the Blues Brothers movie it's just brilliant.

    RIP Fats - I suppose there's only Little Richard and Jerry Lee left now, although I suspect the latter will be too stubborn to ever die.

    Saw him at the Albert Hall in 1990. Just missed out on the 90 year old performers thread of a couple of weeks back.

    RIP Antoine
